Even though Krakow's history stretches back hundreds of years, there's no question of a stuffy museum-like atmosphere. The metropolis on the Vistula is full of energy and almost Mediterranean vitality. With the MARCO POLO Krakow guide you'll be able to explore Poland's most visited city with its very special atmosphere, a mix of culture and vibrant life, of history and modernity, of looking to the future and legends of the past. With this practical guide book, small enough to slip into your pocket, you can stroll through Krakow in search of Copernicus, experience popular festivals and undertake a journey back through time surrounded by architecture of a timeless beauty. Or you can enjoy life in the city's best restaurants, cafes and clubs. The MARCO POLO Insider Tips tell you where you can eat particularly tasty pierogi, the dumplings typical of Poland; why it's worth visiting the flea market on Plac Nowy; and why you should get to the magnificent wooden altarpiece by Veit Stoss in the St. Marys Basilica at least 15 minutes before opening. The Best Of pages show where to find what's unique to Krakow, where the great places for free are and give you tips on what to do on rainy days and where you can relax and chill out. You can find out what's now all the rage in the city, whether its milk bars, outlandish designer fashion or staying in an apartment instead of a hotel. The Walking Tours show you the way to Krakow's largest fruit and vegetable market, quarters with magnificent villas or to the trendy district of Podgorze with its contrasts between Jewish ghetto and modern art. And, last but not least, the Dos & Don'ts advise you why throwing away a cigarette stub can be expensive, and why it's best not to place any trust whatsoever in traffic lights and zebra crossings. MARCO POLO Krakow gives comprehensive coverage of all the city's districts. To help you find your way around there's a detailed street atlas, plan of the tram network in the back cover and additional pull-out map.

Delivery

All items that are in stock will show a delivery timescale of 1-3 working days. If your order consists solely of these items, then dispatch is within 1 working day of purchase with the exception of framed and customised items which may take up to 14 days.

If your order is a non-stock item, the delivery timescale on that item will show as 3-7 working days on the product details. In these instances, dispatch is usually 3-5 working days with delivery in 5-7 working days. If your item is delayed for any reason, we will update your order to provide an explanation of the delay, although it is not always possible to say how long the delay will be. The item will be kept on order for up to three months and supplied to you when it becomes available. After 3 months, we will cancel the order or the remainder of the order unless you ask us to keep it on back order for longer. Incomplete orders will be held until the remaining items come into stock, unless we anticipate a long delay. At our discretion, incomplete orders may be sent out as partial shipments if we anticipate that an item may take some time coming in to stock.

The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (formerly the Distance Selling Regulations) provide consumers with the right to a 'cooling-off' period to allow you to change your mind. Under these regulations, you have the right to cancel your order, without explanation, within 14 days of delivery (starting the day after you receive the goods) and to return the goods for a refund within a further 14 days (28 days in total). The Distance Selling Regulations do not apply to businesses nor to individuals who are trading or acting as a trader (buying goods to re-sell for profit) because no-one is the 'Consumer'. This means there is no 'cooling-off' period and the order cannot be cancelled once processed.

Where an order is placed for an item which is to be personalised or is bespoke, cancellation is not possible once production has started and these are expressly excluded from The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (formerly the Distance Selling Regulations).
